Those figures would naturally carry the
idea that the game was very close and inter-
esting, but it was not.
There was crowd of about three hundred
people who saw the game. The game was
the New Ravens until the last inning, when
the Reserves made eight runs, the winning
one being brought in with only two men out
The New Ravens were first to the bat,
Burns made nice base hit, stole second,
went to third on wild pitch and scored on
Trey's going out at first.
Two msn were out when Taylor went to
the plate. He hit the ball and away into the
air in right field it went. It seemed an i'm
possibility for the ball to go nearly out of
sight in the air and so far on such light hit
as he made. Taylor cannot run very fast, he
being SO heshy. The hit would have been
home run if he could run as fast as Burns,
but as it was it was all right, for he got three
bases easily. He did not get chance to
score for Crowley flew out to Kelly.
The Reserves commenced by making three
runs on singles by Kelly, Becannon, Roberts,
Burtis, a double by Cooke and base on balls
by Carey. Brill made a difficult backward
catch of Korbs fly. Becannon was thrown
out at second Roberts tried to get to third
on Burtis' hit, but Mellon felded the ball in
SO nicely to Brill that he was put out.
Carey got to third in the second inning
and Kelly to first, but there they were left.
On singles by Leary, Murphy, a scratch
hit by Burns on which he got to first by be-
ing fleet runner, and wild throws of
Schwabach and Carey together with steal by
Murphy and two by Burns, three runs were
made. New Ravens 4, Reserves 3.
In the third inning Korb made three base
hit and would have scored but for Brill's fine
side stop of Burtis' hit, retiring him
Troy was given his base on balls. Taylor
stepped to the plate the second time. He had
four balls called on him and thought he
would wait for FIVE, but Cuff called the next
two strikes and the next ball pitched he bat
ted at but did not hit it. The next one,
however, he tapped gently and away it went
into right field for two bases. Troy and
Taylor both scored.
In the next inning both sides were blank
ed, although Schwabach led off with two
Dagger.
Crowley retired the Reserves in the fifth
inning by making hard run forward in to
short right field and catching Roberts
seemingly safe hit He was applauded SO
much that he was obliged to take off his cap
to the spectators.
Taylor came to the bat in this inning for
the third time.
And what was astonishing to everybody
to see him hit safely again. He stole second.
Crowley followed with base hit, and both
finally scored on passed ball and two put
outs.
Both sides were blanked in the sixth in
ming.
Carey in the seventh made base hit, went
to third on Murphy's passed ball and scored
on Cookies hit.
Taylor came to the bat for the New Ha-
vens first in this inning. How everybody
did cheer and cheer when he hit safely
again and got to second base. Brill made
a three-bagger and scored on Halpin's safe
hit.
Korb made a safe hit again in the eighth
inning, went to second on a passed ball, to
third on Roberts hit to center and tried to
get home, but he stayed at third on Melons
fine throw in of the ball. He scored on a
tumble by Halpin. Roberts scored on an at
tempted put out.
Burns led off with safe hit, stole second
and third. Mellon got his base on balls. On
a wild throw of Strettmatter Burns scored
and Mellon got to second.
Taylor stepped to the bat for the fifth
time For the fifth time he hit safely, send
ing Mellon home. The cheers of the specta-
tors we're almost deafening. He stole to sec
ond, but was left.
